Abstract: An integrated well construction system (IWCS) operable for constructing a well via integrated control of integrated control devices that collectively control integrated subsystems of the IWCS. The IWCS includes an IWCS communication network, the integrated control devices (each directly connected with the IWCS communication network), the integrated subsystems, and a control workstation (450, 452, 454) directly connected with the IWCS communication network and operable to control each of the integrated control devices to thereby control the integrated subsystems.

Abstract: A system for use in a mineral extraction system includes a spinner assembly having a motor configured to drive rotation of a roller shaft. The spinner assembly also includes a roller non-rotatably coupled to the roller shaft and configured to contact a first tubular structure, and rotation of the roller is configured to cause rotation of the first tubular structure until the first tubular structure is spun into a second tubular structure. The spinner assembly further includes a detection wheel coupled to the roller shaft and configured to contact the first tubular structure, and the detection wheel is configured to rotate with the first tubular structure and to rotate independently of the roller. The spinner assembly further includes a sensor configured to detect rotation of the detection wheel.

Abstract: A closed-circuit television (CCTV) system for use at a well construction system to form a well at an oil/gas wellsite. The CCTV system includes a video output device and video cameras at the well construction system. A control system is communicatively connected with each video camera and the video output device. The control system receives video display settings from a human wellsite operator, receives the video signals from the video cameras, and automatically displays on the video output device one or more of the received video signals based on the video display settings.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing equipment in a workspace such as an oil rig are disclosed. Objects are given zones which are physically larger than the objects. A monitoring system is capable of monitoring the objects and the zones for each object. When zones intersect, a collision is possible and the monitoring system can take action to prevent the collision or mitigate damage in the case of a collision. Further, systems and methods for ensuring the moving components are handed-off properly from one support to another are disclosed.

Abstract: A tool joint assist system for making and breaking pipe joints of tubulars in a drill string relative to a drilling rig, the tool joint assist system comprising: a roughneck with upper and lower tongs; a camera positioned relative to the roughneck to be capable of capturing an image of tubular and the roughneck; a computer comprising a processor, a non-transitory storage medium, a display, a transmitter/receiver, and a set of computer readable instructions stored in the non-transitory storage medium and when executed by the processor: (i) present a captured image of the tubular, roughneck and an indicator of a proposed height of the roughneck relative to the tubular; receive an instruction from an operator to adjust the indicated proposed height relative to the tubular in the captured image; and (ii) command the roughneck to move to the adjusted height.

Abstract: A torque turn system for making pipe joints of tubulars in a drill string relative to a drilling rig, the torque turn system comprising a rotation sensor, a torque sensor, a torque turn server that receives and processes real-time rotation and torque data, and a torque turn analyzer that generates a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI comprising: a rotation data output component having a plot of the rotation data as a function of turns; a torque data output component having a plot of the torque data as a function of turns; an accept input component; and a reject input component.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for blowout preventer (BOP) control. The apparatus may include a first control station communicatively connected with and operable to control BOP equipment for controlling pressure within a wellbore at an oil and gas wellsite, and a second control station communicatively connected with and operable to control drilling rig equipment for drilling the wellbore within a subterranean formation at the oil and gas wellsite. The second control station may be communicatively connected with the first control station and operable to control the BOP equipment via the first control station.
